Dundee are bottom of the Scottish Premiership, having lost to Kilmarnock in their most recent outing
Jim McIntyre has been appointed manager of Scottish Premiership side Dundee on a one-year rolling contract.
The former Ross County and Dunfermline boss, who won the League Cup with County in 2016, replaces Neil McCann, who left his position at Dens Park on Tuesday.
McIntyre, 46, will take charge of his first match on Saturday away to Livingston in the Premiership.
Dundee are bottom of the table, a point behind St Mirren, after eight games.
Forward Kenny Miller, who joined Dundee in August, told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound that McIntyre is coming in to a "fully committed dressing room and fantastic working environment".
He added: "Whoever it was that came in was going to have a very, very good group of players, a group of players that just need a wee lift, a wee bit of confidence.
"There's no doubt in my mind that we will turn the corner sooner rather than later. We've got a huge game on Saturday."
